Again, what is your main point? Should Tesla or the very idea of autonomous cars be scrapped because of this threat? If that's not your point, then I'm sure Tesla and others in the industry are working against this threat.


Im guessing triple redundancy might be the only solution. As reliable as solid state can be, especially potted and high-quality Japanese components, even one accident will have the naysayers slamming the panic button down repeatedly just like they do now for low volume recalls like Ford Exploders and Toyota Runaways.

I certainly don't disagree. I just find it odd that this technology has the potential to make your trip in a car so much safer, and it'll certainly get to the point very soon where anyone would or should logically trust the car more than they trust other drivers on the road who can't drive for shite. But like you said, 1 car malfunction and everyone will lose their minds, despite the thousands upon thousands that could potentially be saved by it.
